I flew back to Adelaide from Sydney late yesterday afternoon, changed my clothes, walked the dogs in the Adelaide parklands, had dinner, then walked to Elder Park along the River Torrens to experience II Cielo che Danza----the Dancing Sky,
the site-specific, open-air show by Studio Festi on the River Torrens.
It was very romantic with lights, ballons, trapeze or arial ballet and a crescent moon. The music--popular romantic classical---was the low point. Some photos and some description of the Dancing Sky.
The Adelaide Festival started up whilst I was away working in Sydney on the weekend.
Suzanne had seen Three Furies on the weekend. There is a Francis Bacon triptych1970s loaned from the National Gallery of Australia but I cannot find it online. So the central panel from another triptych:
Francis Bacon, , Studies from the Human Body, 1970
People didn't hang around the city after the show. They just walked back to their cars and went home. You know why? There was nothing open. It was Sunday night. That's a regional city for you. It closes down even when there is a big festival happening. Amazing. Poor tourists.
